Our Blueprint

You will build a portfolio of 10-20 clients in your local area, allowing you to focus on the businesses specific needs and work on achieving the owner’s personal objectives.

Every business and owner is different. We don’t enforce a prescriptive approach but follow a flexible CMC agenda including finance/accounts, sales/marketing, people/processes and strategy.

Meeting monthly with clients and offering telephone support as required, quickly builds a trusted relationship to support on critical decisions and advise on all aspects of your clients business.

Our partners take a monthly retainer fee and up to 5% of the sale value….typically a 5 or 6 figure sum. There is also the opportunity for taking equity in start-up businesses. Internally we act as partnership and we believe in building partnerships with our clients based on trust and mutual respect.

Our 26 years’ experience of working with SMEs allows new partners to benefit from a wealth of shared best practice. Over the years we have developed a unique ability to mentor, support and guide partners on all aspects on consultancy, business, sales and marketing. With our personalised one to one and ongoing training, each partner personally develops their skills for greater sales potential and a better client service.
